One of our many visits to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley was on February 24-26, 2015. Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts was open only on the first day of our visit, with 1.5 hour wait times in both the regular and Single Rider lines. So much so, that they closed the Single Rider line as it was exceeding the regular wait time. Having never seen the “extended” area of the ride, we took the time to wait, and take a few new photos of the extended queue area as well as some updated photos of the interior queue and pre-show.

Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts was completely closed for the next two days for “preventative maintenance” which we later found out was actually to repair a damaged portion of the screen from the climax scene of the ride.

We visited the The Wizarding World of Harry Potteron January 20, 2014 and January 24, 2014. We rode the amazing Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride at least five times during our two-day visit, and obtained souvenir ride photos for three of our ‘journeys’. TIP: photos are captured at the point in the ride where your enchanted bench swirls through Aragog’s lair, as animatronic spiders descend upon you – by the fifth journey, Antony knew exactly when to pose – as you can see in the third photo below:
